MORE than 600 part-time and full-time call centre jobs are on offer at a jobs fair this week.

East Durham and Houghall Community College, in Peterlee, County Durham, will host the event between 10am and 3pm on Thursday.

It has been organised by the Employment Service, employers in Peterlee and organisations that offer support and advice to people looking for work and training.

Staff from Peterlee JobCentre, Easington Action Team and the Disability Service will be on hand, alongside specialist lone parent advisors to offer independent support.

Anne Smith, JobCentre recruitment consultant, said: "With so many jobs available this is a great opportunity for anyone interested in working in the ever expanding call centre sector."

A free bus service will run from Seaham and Wingate to the jobs fair. Details are available from local JobCentres
